Which? haven't tested this JVC model but just for info, in your price range their Best Buy is the Sennheiser HD449 for sound quality (whatever your music tastes) and comfort. It gets marked down as there is some sound leakage. Amazon link here, but at £75, perhaps too expensive for you: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-E...3949534&sr=1-1

I rate Sennheiser very highly. Not yet found a really duff set, even the really cheap models sound decent. There are a wide range of different models at all price points so should be something with in your budget.

One thing I would advise if you are serious about sound quality and wearing comfort is try before you buy. Which could be a difficult if you are buying on-line! But there is a great deal of personal taste involved here and although I might rate Sennheiser's, or any other make, you might think they are the biggest pile of s**t you've ever heard.
